Like a lot of the houses her namesake sees, this special pup was a little worse for the wear when she entered the Dallas Pets Alive program-but it turns out she was just a bit of a fixer-upper, because JOANNA "JOJO GAINES is a survivor who has healed, trained, and is ready for her forever home!
As a puppy, this sweet lady suffered from distemper-and, against all odds, she fought back and made a full recovery. Having won her battle with a tough canine illness, JoJo is grateful for every day she gets! She absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs and kids-whether it's a good game of tug-of-war with a rope toy or a romp around the yard with some tennis balls. She's worked through her puppy stage, though. Mostly, this American bulldog mix just wants to curl up on the couch and snuggle! She's a big girl, but JoJo is very aware of her size. She enjoys serving her humans as footrest, armrest, pillow, and fellow spoon. It works out nicely, too, because JoJo has the softest coat for snuggling!
JoJo is completely crate- and potty-trained, and she has mastered "sit. She's just waiting for a forever family who can help her get the hang of "fetch!
Because she survived distemper, JoJo can exhibit tremors when she's stressed. For this reason, a loving family that doesn't need a very active dog would be the ideal home for JoJo. She just wants to love, snuggle, and make the most of the moments she's earned!
She's a bit of a fixer-upper, but if you keep your eye on the beauty of this sweet soul, JOJO will make the perfect addition to your home. If you want to help this girl write the next chapter of her healthy life, apply to adopt JOJO today!
